irswat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Mods will basically already be compatible with the engine upgrades, they will just need to be run through the x64 CK from what I understand. The problem is not mod compatibility, it's that SKSE is not something that was written with 64 bit memory addresses in mind, and it would need to be recompiled. I don't think it will be long after the remaster comes out that SKSE x64 comes out, and people will already be running the mods through the CK. I think the two things I'm most excited about are no more 3.1 gb memory limit, and the possibility that with the 32 bit limitation gone, so too will the 255 plugin limit! It occurred to me that perhaps the updated skyrim engine will use real trees. Nothing worse than having decked out ultra hq graphics, and walking up to a tree and seeing 2d branches, leaves, and pine needles. It works from a distance but they needed to do a couple more mipmaps and a lod switch from low poly to high poly 3d trees when up close, but they didn't probably because of how memory intense it would be. I'm certain the graphics technology is sufficient though, so maybe it's just laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout 4 also has the 255 limit, and it's due to the way the binary code works. I saw it explained on a post about it. I can not explain it in the same way, and not sure I could find it if I tried.

irswat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I thought it had to do with the 32 bit memory address and the way the plugin index works. Dang. Way to crush my hopes and dreams bethesda!Does FO4 have paper trees? Waiting for GOTY to purchase. Edited August 19, 2016 by irswat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does FO4 have paper trees? Waiting for GOTY to purchase.Sorry about that.FO4 has a lot of dead trees, but there are a few mods that makes the pre-war living trees.But to me the game also looks very plastic like. NPCs mostly, but I think it has more to do with that way they did the textures. Faces, and hair are the worst. Some mods to help there, but not all that much.

Wavecannon Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I am in the "Wait and See" category.I am not as astute as many here. So I NEVER buy into a game or release until I know it works. And especially since I play Skyrim with a lot of Mods I deem absolutely necessary: I will stick with what I have, and know.I'll watch the community reaction, and see what happens before I install it.Hell. I'm waiting for the new system before I get Blood and Wine; as my present one can barely run Witcher 3 in a satisfactory manner (it does run it ok; but not in it's full glory).

Jusey1 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yes for me, though I'll be getting both the XONE version and PC version. PC because it'll be free for me, and I can use it update my mods to the new version for everyone and update my private stuff for my own usage as well.XONE version though because my PC isn't a gaming PC and honestly, Bethesda's games has always been more fun on the Xbox for me. Even with Morrowind. It's just, PC version always had mods and now that's changed... Well, I wanna give Skyrim a try on the Xbox once again just with mods. Would definably give me more of a reason to play Morrowind and Daggerfall even more often on the PC since my Skyrim progress will primarily be on the Xbox once this Remaster version comes out. Plus, I'm all for supporting Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelava Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I would like to put questionmarks to Mods which needs HAVOK-, FNIS-support. How easy is the migration to the 64 bit engine here? I do not want to miss that features! Lets hope for the best anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorKaizeld Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I couldn't be bother Read all the posts so don't Known If This As Been Posted but rumors is You can have both, it a separate installation No idea if that True but why let that get way.they will be separate and if you own Skyrim already you will get it for free otherwise you have to pay for it. the thing is why bother having both? the vanilla game is bland so without mods it isnt worth even installing. that is pretty much what the "haters" are saying and i agree with them even though i plan to use the new one... though seriously why didnt they update one of their previous games? like you know Morrowind?
